No Words (Conor Maynard Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8- Call Me

"You ok?" Eddie asked me as we sat down at a little restaurant not far away from work.

"Hm? Oh yeah I'm fine" I said to him as I looked down at the menu trying to decide what to eat.

"Ok then. I'm really glad you said yes Kate"

"Me too" I said as I looked up and smiled at him. Maybe it was a tiny lie. Eddie was a great guy but there's just someone else I keep thinking of...Someone else I'd rather be here with.

"So you're Irish?"

"Haha yeap. What gave it away?"

"Just a wild guess" He said and we both laughed. "Why did you move here?" My heart sank at that question and I stopped smiling. I knew people would ask, but I didn't think about answering the question. I didn't want to think about it at all.

"I...uhm..." I couldn't find the words. I thought about that night and wiped away the tears that were forming before Eddie noticed. I know he was just asking a normal question, but I didn't feel like telling him, like talking to him about it. I wasn't ready to talk to anyone about it. 

"Hey isn't that, that Conor guy? Yeah he comes to the studio almost every week" Eddie said as he looked around, changing the subject, but it wasn't a better subject.

I looked up and saw Conor standing there, waiting to get a table. I wondered why he was alone, and thought of asking him to join us because I didn't want to sit here alone with Eddie anymore, but then a girl came and stood next to him, taking his hand in hers. He smiled at her and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek. My heart sank, I was jealous. She had long blonde hair, was a little bit taller than Conor but she was wearing heels. She was really pretty. They looked perfect together.

I wanted to leave, just curl up in a ball and stay that way. But that would be pathetic of me because Conor isn't even mine and he never was. I shouldn't be feeling this way, but I can't help it. I shook the feeling away and looked over at Eddie.

He was looking at Conor and his girlfriend too. His hand was on the table and I leaned over and put my hand on top of his. He looked at me and smiled.

"Let's eat" I said to him, with the best fake smile I could because I didn't want to eat but I owe Eddie this date, atleast.

My hand was still on top of Eddie's when Conor walked past, still hand in hand with the pretty blonde girl. He looked down at our hands and kept walking. I wondered what he was thinking. 

Eddie and I ate in silence. I had a boring toasted sandwich and so did he. Once in a while I looked over at Conor, he looked happy.

"You didn't answer my question you know" Eddie said to me as we were finishing up.

"It's...It's a long story, for another time" I said to him. I didn't want to tell him at all. 

"Ok, you don't have to tell me" He said as he looked down, a bit angry.

"It's not that...It's just...It's hard to talk about and I'd rather not right now" I said to him. 

"You have to be open with me if we're going to be together Kate"

"We've barely had one date! Why can't you just accept that I can't talk about it right now" I said as I got up and was about to walk away when Eddie grabbed my hand and I stopped. 

"Wait Kate please. You're right, I'm just an impatient person that's all. I really want to do this again" He said to me, and looked up at me with gorgeous blue eyes. I did like Eddie, even if I liked Conor more, so why not give him a chance? Another chance.

"Me to, I had a good time so thank you. Call me, ok?" I bent down to kiss him on the cheek and then left. I think Eddie will be good for me, and safe. 

I looked back at Conor and saw him looking at me. I looked away first, I have to stop thinking about him. 

....

"There you are!" My aunt said to me as I walked into the house. "I was worried! Ben said you just left. With Eddie, but still! I had no idea where you were, don't do that Kate! You might not be my daughter and yes you are 18 but I still care and I still worry ok?"

"Ok ok. Sorry Liz, I didn't think you would mind" I said to her.

"I don't mind sweety, I would just like to know where you are. I'm happy that you're going out, and with such a nice boy too. I've met him a few times and he's so polite and sweet and handsome too" She said and winked at me on that last part.

"Liz! It was just a little something to eat that's all" I said to her, blushing a tiny bit.

"Oh I'm sure" She said with a bit of sarcasm in her voice. "Are you going to go out again?" She said with excitement. 

"Yeah maybe. I'd like too, but..." I stopped myself from saying I liked someone else. One because I shouldn't and 2 because talking about this with my aunt just felt...weird. I always talked to my mom about these things or my friends, and now I have none of them. 

"What is it Kate?" She looked at me, concerned.

"Nothing" I smiled at her and went up to my room, after saying my hellos to my uncle and cousins. 

I was lying on my bed, staring up at the celing when my phone started buzzing. It was a number I didn't recognize but I was guessing it was Eddie. 

"Hello" I answered

"Kate" Said a voice that I would recognize anywhere, even though I've only known him a little while. 

"Conor" I said as I sat up.

"I just...I uhm...I wanted to hear...I shouldn't have called" He said

"No Conor wait" I said but he had already hung up. I had so many questions going through my mind. How did he get my number? Why did he call me? What was he going to say? My phone started buzzing again and I answered immediately.

"Hello" I said quickly and with hope that it would be him.

"Hey Kate, it's Eddie" 

"Oh" I said, disappointed

"Don't sound too happy to hear from me" He said, with sarcasm.

"I am happy that you called, I'm just tired that's all" I lied. 

"You said to call, so I did. I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie tomorrow night" He asked me.

"Sure, that souds great" I said while rubbing my forehead, I guess a movie wouldn't be so bad. 

"Great!" He said and he sounded happy. "I'll pick you up at 7 babe" He said and put down the phone. Him calling me babe just didn't sound right. Going on a date with him didn't feel right. A normal person would have just said no. I didn't want to hurt Eddie in any way. He really was a great guy and I don't have the heart to say no. Because then he would ask why and it would hurt even more to either lie or tell the truth that I like Conor. 

But Conor has someone else.

But then again, he called me. There must have been a reason for that.
